Jake Eagle is the co-creator of the S.A.G.E. process — Subjective Awareness and Genuine Expression — a framework for helping people cultivate inner security, personal agency, and healthier relationships with themselves and others. For over twenty years, he and his wife Hannah worked with individuals and groups exploring how language, perception, and meaning
shape the nervous system and human experience. Jake is a retired psychotherapist and the author of The Power of Awe, a book about how moments of awe can help people shift out of threat, reconnect with themselves, and feel more alive and at ease.
His work invites people to move beyond reactivity and self-blame into clarity, self-regulation, and genuine connection.
